This week, I will be in Los Angeles celebrating the release of Disney’s latest film project, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES! If you saw our post on Friday, we will be walking the red carpet at the film’s premiere, interviewing members of the cast and filmmakers, as well as visiting Disneyland. You can read our entire post HERE!
While in town, we also have the opportunity to participate in few amazing projects. One of them is the Walt Disney Signature collection release of the classic BAMBI! In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the film, the movie will be released on Digital HD May 23rd and Blu-ray June 6th. To help Disney celebrate, we will be sitting down with two members of the original voice cast, Donnie Dunagan … [Read more...]

Ahh, spring is in the air. Time for some spring cleaning right? Right. Although I do kind of wonder, why isn't it "fall cleaning?" I mean, you're about to button up your house for the winter, wouldn't you want it to be super clean before that? Then spring cleaning could consist of opening the windows. Now that would be awesome. Not that I have ever done that for my spring cleaning. Nope, not me.
Regardless, spring is seen as the time of renewal, so it makes some sense to go through and clean up a bit. And by "a bit" I mean move all the furniture and collect all the crayons, pencils, pen … [Read more...]

It’s time for Christmas and in my home that means baking. Cookies, pies, you name it. Every year my whole family gathers for several days (not all at once) to bake cookies and make treats for the holiday season. One of our annual favorites is our Haystacks, made with Rice and Corn Chex, but this year we’re going to try something new (oh we’re still going to make our haystacks, this is “in addition to,” not “instead of”). I think everyone knows that you can make your own Chex Mix at home (have you ever done it? I have, it is sooo good fresh out of the oven). But you can also make several sweet varieties of Chex Mix like Sugar Cookie m … [Read more...]

It’s Christmas and that means its deal time again. I have mentioned once or twice that I like deals. Especially deals related to buying Christmas presents. So here’s the deal. Do you live near a Giant, Giant Carlisle, Stop & Shop or Martins™? If you do, then between December 16th and December 22nd you can get 2x fuel points when you purchase MasterCard gift cards. I love to take advantage of these kinds of offers every time they come up at my local store.
Obviously gift cards are good for just about anything. I don’t purchase them just as gifts. Well, I do purchase them for gifts, but that’s not the only thing. Do you have a child in school? Trust me, their teacher will appreciate a gift card more than an apple. Do you have a child in … [Read more...]

I have to admit that I have done a lot of Christmas shopping online this year. And as a couponer, sometimes that can be a hard thing to do. I like hunting down deals and finding the coupon and scoring a win. I’m competitive like that. So when it comes to online shopping I’m always looking for the best deal or promo code for a site I might buy from.
So needless to say, I’ve tried all the major coupon or promo code websites. The main problem I have with a lot of them (as I’m sure many of you do) is that the deals aren’t real half the time. Someone posted a one-time use code they received and it won’t work for everyone else. Or the deal expired three months ago. Seriously? Why are you showing deals from the summer when it is December? And th … [Read more...]

I’m a 30-something Mother and Wife living in the Midwest, more specifically, Cincinnati, OH. My life passions include my family, entertainment, travel, everything food, reading, couponing (yes, I am one of those), product reviews, deal hunting, and general gab (hence the degree in Communication). I love to take in knowledge about anything that I can get my hands on; everything from a new book, the latest technology, to a new recipe.
